    Collapse overview
    Using high-throughput genomic data, Riesenfeld Group develops approaches to computationally infer the circuits that regulate gene expression and cellular function. By iterating experimental perturbations, data modeling, and targeted validations, they aim to extract from noisy, large-scale data the signals to help answer complex questions about the immune system, such as: What drives tolerant versus inflammatory immune responses? How do immune pathways contribute to or disrupt tissue homeostasis? How can immune responses be manipulated to restore health?

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
